Frequently asked questions

As early as 6 months old! Our Level 1 Survival lessons are designed for infants and toddlers (6 months–4 years) to learn life-saving skills like floating and breathing.

Private lessons (Levels 1–3) are 15 focused minutes — the ideal attention span for little swimmers. Group lessons (Level 4) run 30 minutes.

It typically takes 24–30 consecutive lessons for a child to master survival skills. We recommend 2–4 lessons per week for Level 1, and 1–2 per week for other levels, for steady progress.

One-on-one time lets your child bond with the instructor quickly and get fully personalized attention — which means faster, safer progress. Level 4 is our social group option for more experienced swimmers.
